Richard Zimler was born in Roslyn Heights, a suburb of New York, in 1956. After earning a bachelor's degree in comparative religion from Duke University and a master's degree in journalism from Stanford University , he worked for eight years as a journalist, mainly in the San Francisco Bay area. In 1990, he moved to Porto, Portugal, where he taught journalism for sixteen years, first at the College of Journalism and later at the University of Porto. In 2017, the city of Porto awarded Zimler its highest distinction, the Medal of Honor. At the ceremony, Porto's mayor described the novelist as "A citizen of Porto who was born far away, who makes the city greater and grander... Zimler projects Porto out into the world and brings the rest of the world to us."

Richard has published eleven novels over the last 22 years, and his works have been translated into 23 languages. His new novel, The Gospel According to Lazarus, will be published in the UK, Ireland, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand in April of 2019. It will come out in America and Canada in June of 2019.

In chronological order, his novels are: The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon, Unholy Ghosts, The Angelic Darkness, Hunting Midnight, Guardian of the Dawn, The Search for Sana, The Seventh Gate, The Warsaw Anagrams, Teresa Island , The Night Watchman and The Gospel According to Lazarus . His novels have appeared on bestseller lists in 12 different countries, including the USA, Great Britain, Portugal, Italy, Brazil and Australia. Five of his books have been nominated for the prestigious International Dublin Literary Award.

Richard has also published five children's books in Portugal. In 2018, one of them, "The Dog Who Ate Raindrops" was awarded the most important children's book prize - the Bissaya-Barreto Prize. He writes his children's books in Portuguese and his novels in English.

Richard Zimler has won numerous other awards for his work, including the Marquis de Ouro prize in 2010 - as Book of the Year in Portugal - for The Warsaw Anagrams. This prize is voted on by high school teachers and students. He also won the 2009 Alberto Benveniste prize in fiction for Guardian of the Dawn , and the 1998 Herodotus Award, for The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon . Additionally, The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon was picked as 1998 Book of the Year by three British critics. Hunting Midnight, The Search for Sana, The Seventh Gate and The Warsaw Anagrams have all been nominated for the International Dublin Literary Award, the richest prize in the English-speaking world. He was also granted a 1994 U.S. National Endowment of the Arts Fellowship in Fiction.

The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon, Hunting Midnight, Guardian of the Dawn and The Seventh Gate form the "Sephardic Cycle," a group of inter-connected - but fully independent - novels about different branches and generations of a Portuguese Jewish family.

His latest novel, The Gospel According to Lazarus, will be published by Peter Owen. Here are some honors the book has received:

Number 1 bestseller in Portugal
Bestseller in Brazil
Number 1 Spiritual bestseller on Amazon Brazil
Best Novel of 2016 – FNAC Bookstores
Best Novel of 2016 –Bertrand Bookstores
Best Novel of 2016 – Radio Minho
Best Books of 2016 – Jornal de Notícias

Here is a brief synopsis:

In the New Testament, we are told that Jesus resurrected a beloved friend named Lazarus from the dead. Yet the Gospel of John – which contains this episode – does not tell us how Jesus accomplished this miracle or if he had a special purpose for saving his companion.
In The Gospel According to Lazarus, Richard Zimler narrates this mysterious and influential story from Lazarus’ own point of view.
After he is awakened from death, Lazarus has difficulties regaining his previous identi
